30-day fast-track procurement for operationally validated systems

THE CHALLENGE

Procurement cycles measured in years are incompatible with unmanned-systems development cycles measured in months or weeks. Systems risk being technically outdated before first delivery.

PROPOSED ACTION

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

RESPONSIBLE STAKEHOLDERS

National ministries of defence and procurement agencies

TIMELINE

12 months

TARGET

Award decision within 30 days of a complete validated request and contract-to-first-delivery below 90 days in at least 80% of fast-track cases.
